From the Mr. Big studio shots...
What's the pedal between the TU2 and Phase 90?

Ibanez AF2 Airplane Flanger Prototype

The prototype was a half rack unit with a separate 2-button footswitch so I don't think it's that, although it is where Paul has been putting the AF2 in his chain...
On closer inspection, it also only has 1 footswitch and 4 knobs.

It looks to me like a Fulltone Choralflange

Yeah doesn't appear to be the AF2 after all....

it sure is.

Paul's pedalboard on the tour, anyone already know what this green pedal is? Sorry if it's already been worked out.

Must be the Three Hound Chorus or HBE Compressor pedal?

Sorry, now posting in 2 threads...

It's the new, smaller, HBE CPR, I think.
I keep being tempted to get it as my larger CPR takes up quite a bit of board space compared to the new one...

Looks like the HBE Mini CPR to me.

I copied this from Fuzz Universe Tour Thread...

My guess is

Boss TU2 - Ibanez AF2 - Boss DD3 - ___________ - HBE Detox EQ - MXR Phase 90 - Majix Box Fuzz Universe - Keeley Looper Japanese Apartment (MXR Phase 100 - MXR Blue Box Octave Fuzz)

Can somebody tell me whats the missing pedal, and pls correct me (if any)

The missing pedal is the Homebrew Mini Compressor Retro (HBE mini CPR)

Thanks

His Dunlop 535q Wah must be hiding. I imagine he would have needed that a lot for this tour....

He's not playing the "wah" song. Come to think of it. He's really not playing a lot of Fuzz Universe songs on that "Fuzz Universe" tour.

He's not even playing many Paul Gilbert songs!

Just an opinion on Paul's current tone:

Having seen him live in december, i can definitely say it is a LIVE tone all the way, sounds killer "in the flesh".

Other than that, i REALLY despise the exact same rig on recording, wether it be fuzz universe of what if.

As a rythm sound I find it passable, but the high notes during solos are really harsh! Maybe Paul's hearing loss stop him from hearing these high frequencies? i know that's not valid because there's always producers or other band members to point it out, but still.

Am i the only one who finds his solo sound harsh?

Laney tone all the way man... ;<

I can't notice it... but I've EQ'd my PC speakers output quite well to have more low end and mids and cut the high end a little bit...

Paul says high pitch notes are harder to notice for him. He even said he doesn't hear the hi hats that well anymore.
